Cruise Control does not Set

[Red Ryder]

Hey all, it has been several years since I owned a RSV again, but I cannot get the Cruise Control to Set.

I believe I'm doing it correctly. I turn the switch to On, the Set and Res lights display then the On light remains. I press Set, even held it a few seconds, and Does Not set. Even pressed Set, then immediately Resume, but did not Set.

 

Any Idea's?

 

Thanks-

Check clutch and brake switches are closing. Push forward on the levers to make sure they return fully. It only works in 4th and 5th gear.

Thank You Ronnie, I did have problems with front brake handle not releasing properly, and brake light staying on. Might need better cleaning of brake and clutch since the bike sat for a few years.

 

Appreciate your quick response, Later-

not sure about the fourth gear? I used mine in third above 60 klm is the rule I know.

On the VR that works but the RSV is only 4-5th. No idea why they changed that.

Hmm! Sucks

I have a similar problem but mine will actually set after a few tries. Here is the post I placed. Scroll down to Du-Rron's reply. I haven't had a chance to do the job yet but I think it will correct my problem when I do. Maybe it will correct yours.
